Books with title Curtain Up

A wheelchair-bound Poirot returns to Styles, the venue of his first investigation, where he knows another murder is going to take place...The house guests at Styles seemed perfectly pleasant to Captain Hastings; there was his own daughter Judith, an inoffensive ornithologist called Norton, dashing Mr Allerton, brittle Miss Cole, Doctor Franklin and his fragile wife Barbara , Nurse Craven, Colonel Luttrell and his charming wife, Daisy, and the charismatic Boyd-Carrington.So Hastings was shocked to learn from Hercule Poirot's declaration that one of them was a five-times murderer. True, the ageing detective was crippled with arthritis, but had his deductive instincts finally deserted him?...

With so many young flautists in the musical world today it is only natural to pair them up and give them some wonderful duets to play. It's amazing what "big" music, these two small instruments can cope with; indeed, in the eighteenth century the flute duet was almost the gramophone record of the time as countless operatic arias were brought to the public in arrangements for this pairing.This book draws on some of those miniaturizations, from Mozart's and Weber's operas, coupled with earlier music from Telemann and Boismortier and rounded off with more modern pieces from Richard Rodney Bennett and a (specially written) piece by Holzeis-Augustin which introduces some contemporary music techniques. All these duets are great fun and well within the reach of intermediate players.Intermediate-level compositions and arrangements of music from Telemann and Mozart to Richard Rodney BennettIncludes a lively composition by Maria Holzeis-AugustinAll duets are suitable as concert pieces and for competitionsContents: Telemann Georg Philipp: Sonata D-Dur TWV 40:103Boismortier Joseph Bodin de: Concerto IIPleyel Ignaz Joseph: Duett Nr.
